Cowboy Camp Ambience (Campfire, Wind, Crickets, Music) Relaxing ASMR for Studying, Sleep, and Focus

Wild West ambience! The most prominent sounds are the crackling of a campfire, soft wind, crickets, cicadas, and some American folk music on the harmonica, fiddle/violin, or guitar (depending on the song).
Occasional background sounds: Owl hooting, horses neighing, horses snorting, quiet conversations, distant laughter, clinking bottles, and a wagon rolling by.
Songs:
Red River Valley- Unknown. This cowboy song has had a lot of different names over time depending on where it was song. Its origins are unknown, but it was probably written during the later 1800s, likely the 1870s.
Home on the Range- Daniel E. Kelly and Brewster M. Higley. This song was originally a poem called "My Western Home" by Higley, who moved from Indiana to Kansas in 1871. Kelly was a friend of Higley's and he put the poem to music. It quickly became a rural anthem in the United States and became the state song of Kansas.
Oh Shenandoah- Unknown. This song originated with trappers and traders along the Missouri River that befriended local indigenous people. Shenandoah was the chief of the Oneida Iroquois tribe, and the song tells the story of a settler who fell in love with his daughter, so their connections with local natives was the inspiration for the song. It spread to the Mississippi River and eventually to American clipper ships, where it was changed and became a shanty.
Amazing Grace- John Newton. Amazing Grace was a hymn written in 1772 and published in 1779. Newton was impressed into the Royal Navy and, after making his escape, joined the Atlantic slave trade. One day, a large storm battered his boat while he was off the coast of Ireland. He called out to God for help and survived, marking his conversion to Christianity. A few years later, he left the slave trade and became an abolitionist, writing the lyrics in poem format. They were set to music and became incredibly popular, especially during the Second Great Awakening in the Southern United States. It is now one of the most well-known songs in the US.
Wayfaring Stranger- Unknown. This folk song originated in the 19th Century. The lyrics were published in 1858 in a songbook but its artists are unknown. It's possible that it was a translation that evolved over time, but it is unclear. Either way, it was known as "Libby Prison Hymn" for a while because a dying soldier had inscribed the words on the wall of the Confederate Libby Prison (known for its high death rates and poor conditions). It was popularized in the film 1917.
This Land is Your Land- Woodie Guthrie. Guthrie wrote this song in 1944 (published the following year) response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" and it was meant to be a satire, but the song became very popular and is now considered patriotic.
When Johnny Comes Marching Home- Patrick Gilmore. Gilmore wrote this song during the American Civil War for his sister to give her hope when her fiancee was away, fighting as a Union artillery captain. It was set to the same tune as "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl," and it was very popular among Union troops. It reached the south as well, where it was sung, and even England, but it was primarily a Northern American tune.
Ashoken Farewell- Jay Ungar. This song is often associated with the American Civil War since it was used in a documentary about it, but it was written in 1982. It's an adaption/evolution of "Massa's in the Cold Cold Ground," which was written in 1852 by Stephen A. Foster and is a goodbye song.
Oh My Darling, Clementine- Percy Montrose. This western folk ballad was set to a tune originating among miners in the California Gold Rush, but the lyrics were written by Montrose in 1884 about the daughter of a Forty Niner. It was popularized by Bing Crosby in 1941.
Oh! Susanna- Stephen Foster. First published in 1848, this song was written while Foster was in Ohio for his social club. It was performed for the first time in Andrew's Eagle Ice Cream Saloon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1847, and it is very famous across the US.
The Song of the Vermonters (The Green Mountaineer)- John Greenlead Whittier. Written in 1779, this ballad was originally a poem. It was about Vermont's relationship with the American Revolution and their role in keeping British forces out.
America the Beautiful- Katherine Lee Bates and Samuel A. Ward. It was published in 1895 as a patriotic song that gained enough popularity to challenge "The Star Spangled Banner" as the national anthem of the United States. It did not win out, but it is considered an unofficial national anthem in the US. Bates wrote the words for it after a trip across America and Ward set it to music a few years later.
